Location

US 51, Beachway Drive to Lakeview Road, Iron County

Project Overview

The existing pavement is experiencing transverse and longitudinal cracking, alligator cracking, and rutting. This is occurring due to traffic loading and the seasonal freeze/thaw process. To address these, proposed improvements include milling and overlaying the existing pavement. In addition, several curb & gutter sections will be replaced, repair several inlets, curb ramps will be updated to current ADA standards, address a section of roadway experiencing a frost heave, and install new pavement markings.

Traffic Impacts

Impacts will include daytime single lane closures. Roadway will be open to traffic by the end of the work day. No detours or temporary signals are expected.

Real Estate

Temporary Real Estate acquisition is anticipated for curb ramp upgrades to current ADA standards.
